LA vs Hate: Summer of Solidarity
In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, the LA County Commission on Human Relations has launched "LA vs Hate: Summer of Solidarity" to address the rise in hate by promoting messages of solidarity, community and inclusion. Summer of Solidarity is a summer-long activation, which will launch on May 21st, World Cultural Diversity Day, inviting us all to take a stance against hate. Throughout the summer, LA vs Hate will uplift and celebrate cultural moments and traditions, partners, and community leaders and members - showcasing that solidarity is stronger than hate. We ask our partners to engage their communities and create your own organization's summer events centered around the theme of Solidarity and celebration of our diversity and appreciation for other cultures.
